During its evolution, the green sea turtle (Chelonia ... adapted for crunching and pulverizing chunks of algae-coated coral. They digest the algae and excrete the coral as fine sand.

Now Baker and other scientists are trying to speed up that adaptation, fast-forwarding the evolution of coral in the lab and bringing it to the ocean floor. He’s bringing coral closer to the ...

In the “moderate” emissions scenario that we are most likely heading towards, coral populations could only survive if they ...

Before Charles Darwin came up with his famous theory about evolution, he proposed a theory of how coral reefs and atolls formed. Some of the specimens he collected to support his theory are now cared ...

Coral adaptation to ocean warming and marine heat waves will likely be overwhelmed without rapid reductions of global ...

Coral reefs face extinction from climate change, warming oceans and frequent heatwaves. Research shows some adaptation ...
